thanks all of you that review and i hope you like the new chapters i'm putting up. i'm kinda splitting these couple of chapters i'm putting up on here. plz review i need some feed back on how i'm doing and plus it makes me feel pretty good.. lol.

So, maybe I did doze off a little while I sat in Claire's livingroom waiting on her to get dress to go to the beach. Was that a crime? Okay I was embarrassed when I did get caught doing it. I blinked looking at her.

"You sure you want to go? Maybe, you should get some rest." She suggested, smiling at me. I stood up and rubbed my eyes.

"No, I'm fine. I'm wearing what I have on." I told her pointing at my short blue jean shorts, thong sandles and my Rock of Love t-shirt. "Humor me, I'm a big fan of Bret Micheals and no one can change that". She started laughing.

"Yeah you look fine but you might need a coat because it gets kind of cool at night time. Here. You can use this." She handed me a coat that was on the back of the couch. "Alright, lets go. The boys are waiting." Boys? We walked out of her small yellow house to a building that was off to the side of lawn. The first thing that came to my mind was she was going to kill me and stuff me in a locked up little shed. I watched her unlock the door and light poured in and there sat a bright shiny black and grey bike with two helmets on the handlebars. It wasn't the harley-davidson type it was a Kawasaki sport bike. That I do recognize from watching a lot of biker movies. "Well, when you ride in style, you ride in style huh?" I asked her. She rolled it out and handed me the extra helmet.

"A gift from my fiancee'. You ready to ride? It shouldn't take about ten minutes to get there." She climbed on the back and reffed up the engine. I got behind her and the next thing we were driving down the road with no care in the world. Deep inside of me I knew that this wasn't going to last with me having friends and actually settling down. True to her word, we did arrive in ten minutes. She cut the bike off and we took helmets off and shook our hair out.

"Whew! Finally."

"Yes, tell me about it." I said, taking in the site. The beach was gorgeous with the sun beaming on it making me want to soak in some sun. I looked up and closed my eyes enhaled the smell of salt water. The smell brought back a lot of memories with my parents and I on their sailboat. My father made it a weekend ordeal to spend it with his family. He was always up for adventure. We always travelled at least once a month to different states but like always my favorite time was on the ocean.

Listening to the ocean was like washing away any bad worries. I got off the bike and followed her around the big boulders of rock and through the sand. I quickly took my sandles off because I wanted to feel sand on my feet. About twenty feet away, I could see a canopy put up with a table what looked like food on it underneath and surf boards propped up against them. There were several folded up chairs put out and beach towels layed out. There were people swimming in the water and laughter drifted up to me. A couple of huge guys were gathering drift wood and stacking it up in a pile.

"Claire, love!" A tall, dark and burly guy with a buzz cut ran over to Claire picked her up and whirled her around and around. She giggled like a little girl.

"Quil, I missed you." She told him with a hand on his cheek and kissed him gently on the lips. Okay, I think this is my cue to just walk away, I thought. I started walking away when Claire grabbed my wrist. "Quil, this is Maria. She just moved to town and I'm helping her find a place to live tomorrow. Maria, this is my fiancee' Quil Ateara." He smiled revealing nice straight teeth. He seemed harmless. Oh did i mention huge too?

"Maria, nice to meet you. Welcome to La Push. I'm pretty sure, my Claire, will find you anything that you need. She's amazing." He said. It made her blush a little. Made me wish I had someone that was like that.

"Watch out!!!" Someone yelled. Something hit me in the head, knocking me to the ground and for a minute I started to see stars .
